Summary
Indoor environmental parameters such as air temperature, mean radiant temperature, relative humidity and air velocity were measured and the thermal sensation of subjects was investigated thanks to questionnaires. The relationship between the thermal sensation and the indoor operative temperature was established. In summer, people have higher tolerance for higher temperatures than PMV predicted. In winter, people adapt to colder environment, and would feel discomfort if the indoor temperature was higher, and their actual thermal sensation voting value was greater than PMV predicted. Because of the differences in heating conditions, people long living in the southern parts of China have greater adaptability to cold environment than those living in the northern parts.
